Topic: Any way (other than the EXE installer) to set file associations? (Read 1287 times)

I've recently been using fpcupdeluxe to install Lazarus, which unlike the EXE installer, does not set file associations properly. Is there any way to do this post-install, other than manually setting them one by one?

This might actually be something within my capabilities, so I'll gladly look into it, once I have solid confirmation (rather than just implied) that it doesn't already exist somewhere and I'm just overlooking it.

At the same time: Any file types to be aware of that wouldn't be obvious from a quick look at the Open dialog?

the installation for windows is made with inno setup (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php) and the file "%%tools/install/win/lazarus.iss" holds the script to build the setup. if you open that file you will a section named [registry]where all the file associations are listed as keys to the registry.
